Jackie Weaver

Kate chats to Oscar-winning director Florian Zeller about The Father, and to Jackie Weaver, famed for keeping her cool during THAT dysfunctional parish council meeting.

Reverend Kate Bottley chats to film and theatre director, Florian Zeller who this year won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screen play for his first film, The Father. Sir Anthony Hopkins won Best Actor for his role playing a man losing his bearings in the grip of Alzheimer's disease.

They also chat to Jackie Weaver, the Meeting Clerk from the Cheshire Association of Local Councils whose involvement in a meeting of the Handforth Parish Council went viral. She talks to Kate about control, compassion and what she did next after becoming an unlikely national treasure.

Plus Pause for Thought and the perfect soundtrack for a Sunday morning.
